    Thanks

    many you have offered suport over the past few weeks. I thought this was a safe place. Until another member basically verbally attacked someone for feeling triggered over a sexual comment made by a stranger. It's "buying into the feminist language" and as long as we do it, we buy into triggers...

    Sexual Assault Dear Man Who Decided To Make Sexual Comments About Me

    @Alistair No one is a sex object. And no one has the "right" to say crap like that. That crap is how women are seen as sex objects, not human beings. Your attitude is part of the problem. Nice way to blame the victims But.. Wait. We're just supposed to "not be triggered" by a sexist...

    Opening Up

    @CMan Silence is part of what we were taught. I don't talk to others unless they have PTSD as well. And I still hate to talk face to face for many of the same reasons. It's also a matter of shame- if they knew they wouldn't like me. They'd blame me. They'd judge me. I also feel shamed...

    When A Death Brings Secrets Out

    @Snowflake It seems you're caught against three rings: 1. I don't want to go because of the family and abuse 2. I want to be there for my cousin 3. Maybe Imshould go for myself (?) There is nothing wrong with choosing not to go. Choose what you think is best for you in terms of going/ not...

    Help Me Understand The Professional Mentality Of Therapists

    It's funny. I used to hear veterans complain about therapists not caring because they take an assessment that is professional- it seems "uncaring." Then they complain because CPT and PE are both evidence based practice and are only 12 weeks. so, "therapists don't care." Keep professional...

    Earth-centered Spirituality: Pagan, Wiccan, Druid, Native American, Other

    @CrowFeather Most of the Wiccans I have been around aren't about right or wrong. If your path is similar and it's more a social context, most won't have problems. Even spiritual discussion. I'm not an initiate to a formal mystery religion. I'm more or less Wiccan but incorporate other views...

    I Can't Take This Anymore

    That's ok though. You took a chance at something. Maybe it didn't work out. Maybe it's a learning curve on the new job. There's two choices: stay on and talk to your boss about some sort of accommodation Or leave It's ok whatever you decide. Do what you think is best for you at this moment...

    What Is The Weirdest Thing You've Done When Stuck In An Airport?

    @theshadowoftheliving We can always try something else to tak your mind off it. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small, small world. My brother and I got stuck on that ride for 20 minutes. It was annoying. We considered...

    I'm A Loathsome Person, Lacking In All Self Control

    If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete. - Buddha Be gentle with yourself. When you start beating yourself up, try to challenge it or use something to distract yourself, like this saying. It helps me to focus on self forgiveness.

    Earth-centered Spirituality: Pagan, Wiccan, Druid, Native American, Other

    @Cj77 There are places to get gems back. If there isn't a shop locally, you can purchase over the Internet. I found the peace of having a Path I can follow without the strict structure.

    What Is The Weirdest Thing You've Done When Stuck In An Airport?

    8 count body builders. Push-ups. Planks. Reciting a poem out loud. Other passengers didn't appreciate: Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not dead. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn...

    Yesterday I went into a local shop. I felt drawn to something outside. B-line to the gems. Then two particular gems pulled me over. Snowflake obsidian: A stone of purity. Balances the mind, body, and spirit. Calm and soothes you and allows you to view unhealthy patterns in your own...

    @Lionheart777 @CrowFeather I'm lucky. There's a local Wiccan/ pagan group who welcomes LGBT people. We get together mostly socially because each one of us has a slightly different take on ritual. We're planning to do Litha together together to see if we can mesh now. I had a similar...

    Well That Happened!!

    That is such a huge step. I had to smile about the "here's my journal... I don't want to talk about it." It's just so PTSD. Three weeks ago I had a massive panic attack in my therapists office... 3rd time I saw him. Going back was the hardest thing. I made it
